Alright up next is the Haverst Moon/Rune factory crew!

This one was a bit harder to disect than most, so I had to go straight to see some gameplay and skim over the plot.

If I had to describe it, I would say that Harvest Moon/Rune Factory is a mix between Animal Crossing, Classic Legend of Zelda, maybe a some Fire Emblem, and a bit from surrounding JRPG's.

The franchise has been mostly on Nintendo devices from what I can tell. So it definitely has the Nintendo alliance there as a positive. Also looking at the combat, it looks good. Really good. It mixes a lot of action elements with JRPG attack mechanics, creating strategic fights in the midst of traditional action adventure combat. Some moves look overpowered, granted, but a lot also seem managble for a game like Smash Bros. Judging from the plot I skimmed over in games 3 and 4, the protagonists of those stories seem viable enough as characters due to their setup. The protagonist of 3, half human half (wooly?) could have a pretty unorthodox moveset. 4 on the other hand would a more traditional moveset mixed with something in the vein of Palutena.

Still, for all the positives the game has going for it, I don't see it happening. However, the quality is there and I think it would be unfair to say they weren't at least debatable.
